Accountants!!! Part 2...

Following on from my post yesterday (please see previous post for the background):

* Accountant is coding EVERYTHING to either T1/T2/T3 (depending on the current standard VAT rate) or T9, even for purchase and sale of books, and purchase of goods from EU/Outside of EU
* Accountant admits "it's horrible"
* Client has received various local authority loans which they've been paying off over the years. Repayment have been correctly posted to the loan account, but so has the interest, therefore causing an incorrect balance on the loan accounts.

Heaven help me.

However Acct has said I should do the VAT return, do all i can for year end, pass it back to her to finalise year end, and start the new financial year from a clean Sage.

Watch this space.
Helen.

Hi Helen

Here is a great opportunity to build a bridge and get loads of potential work.

Most accountants hate bookkeeping so if the accountant realises you want to work with them to resolve everything with minimum fuss and no loss of face where the client is concerned you may find there is a lot more owrk to be mined from this accountant.

every cloud has a silver lining.

Yep Stuart, I absolutely intend to get as much out of them as possible.

I did a voluntary clean-up of one of their clients Sage - a friend's business - last year, which is how they got to know me. That client's Sage was in an even worse state than this one, but that's another story for another day!

I guess that every business owner knew how to effectively bookkeep, we'd all be out of jobs!
